Mangalore, July 31: “If murders happen in broad daylight and the case remains unsolved for more than a month, how can a common man live safely in this society?” asked Muneer Katipalla, President, Democratic Youth Federation of India.
He was speaking at a protest organised by Kuloor-Kavoor unit of DYFI, demanding high level inquiry into Panjimogaru double murder case.
More than 100 protestors took out at protest march from Panjimogaru, the place of brutal double murder, and converged at Kavoor junction to pressurise the police department and politicians.
Mr Katipalla said that the people have the right to know the culprit behind this gruesome crime.
Criticising the police department for failing to solve the case even after a month, he said culprit should be punished.
Noticing how rumors have made people living in the area doubt each other, he resented the way in which suspicion has crept over several innocents.
If such murderers were not caught, they'll get a boost to continue such atrocities. When police cannot solve cases like this, they should hand it over to higher departments such as COD, he opined.
Imthiaz B K, President, DYFI, Mangalore City, Dayanand Shetty, District Secretary, DYFI, Mohammed Shareef, Former Corporator, Saajida, President, DYFI women's wing and many others were present.
60 people interrogated
Meanwhile, speaking on the condition of anonymity, a police officer informed that over 60 people including criminals and family members of the victims have been interrogated by four teams of 20 officers so far. “The case has too many angles and even City Crime Bureau Police is investigating into it”, he said.
He appealed that people come forward and cooperate with police if they have any information.
It can be recalled that Razia (35), wife of a scrap merchant and their daughter Fathima Zua (8) were murdered in their two-story house in Panjimogaru in Kavoor police station limits on June 28.
